Come On Christmas Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I bought a new 1892 round barrel Rossi Stainless 44 WCF. I also have a 45 Navy no safety Octagonal barrel I believe is a Rossi as well. My new gun is smoother out of the box. Is this common to stainless guns in general.

Indian Jack. Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 My Stainless 92 carbine feels smoother than a blued 92 that I had before...it is not fast and I still like the rifle because of its lightness but that is about all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancho Roy Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I love my Rossi SS 45LC ctake down conversion. No lever action I own is as smooth. Including two high $$ Uberti (1866 and 1873) CAS race guns.......... http://rvbprecision.com/shooting/rossi-1892-winchester-take-down-conversion.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I really like my 92 in SS....its the rifle I use in adverse conditions (rain). Not quite as easy to shoot on target as my 24" barrelled 'Mingo' 73.... but super easy to handle. The 92 was smoother than I thought t would be out of the box ( bought through Outlaw Gambler....great pard to work with).... however Deuce did a couple things to it and the Nate Kiowa Jones springs improved it ALOT. Now for that Ketchum Quick front sight improvement..... its in my wish list. GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Some years back, I had a rather nice Navy Arms imported octagonal barrel '92 rifle. Couldn't get it to run reliably with .45 Schofield ammo, so I sold it. Wish I'd kept it. Really nice gun. Also really smooth for an "out of the box" '92. And yes, I think stainless guns are a mite smoother than "blue" guns. Coffinmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly SASS #45219 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Now, if we could only get Ruger to make a 92 in SS I'd buy one in a heartbeat. . . DD-MDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooklyn Slim Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 My 44-40 Rossi '92 in SS had poor accuracy out of the box, using factory Cowboy Ammo. The good folks on the Wire suggested I slug the barrel, which showed a .429 bore. Got some 44-40 big lube bullets sized to .430 and the accuracy greatly improved. Had a local smith replace the springs and polish the innards. It's a really nice rifle. Almost as nice as my Marlin 1893C, when the Marlin works right, that is.
